The story of a noble girl

Chapter 48
The shop street that Lin Xiaoning is building has been fully affirmed by his grandfather and elder brother. Lin Jiadong said: "Taocun needs a decent shop street now. There are more than 700 people in Taocun now, and there is not even a shop. Everyone in the county knows it. Bringing carriages and goods to Taocun to sell, Taocun must have its own shop street."

When Lin Jiadong spoke, he was very elegant, no matter how you looked at it, he looked like a seventh-rank adult.

There is a book at the head of the village, which records the labor distribution and points of the new villagers.Now the new villagers live in the Lin family, eat the Lin family, and wear the Lin family. They don't need to be paid for their work, but they also have to guard against some people who steal, rape and play tricks.With the points system, it is clear at a glance who does more work and who does less work.Of course, the frail elderly are excluded.These points can affect the number of their future tenants, as well as the rent, and the lease period for deferment.It’s not that you can rent as much land as you want, and the rent is also divided into fine pieces. The market price is [-]% to [-]% rent, but the highest rent of Lin’s family is only [-]% rent, and there are also [-]% rent, and the lowest is [-]% rent. .The higher the points, the less the rent, and the rent can be postponed for two years.

This idea was discussed by Lin Xiaoning and the village head, and it has achieved great results.

Master Xiao Zheng has the worst complexion, why is Aunt Huang so difficult to speak![-]% of his taps were deducted by Mr. Zheng, [-]% was used for home use, and [-]% was reserved for the dog. The money for Aunt Huang was less, but it was enough for her! Why is he so angry.

Looking at Mrs. Sun again, the guilt in my heart deepened. How could I have been deceived by lard at the beginning?But now when facing Sun's increasingly pleasing face, I really feel that I was a bit of a fool at the beginning, and I have nothing to learn from rich people taking concubines, which made the house a mess.That Aunt Huang's father imitated his father every day, drinking and eating meat all day long, and even went to the county town to play cards. That was gambling.What a crime.My old man worked hard all his life and didn't enjoy the blessings of his children. Now it's easy to relax and take it easy. Aunt Huang's old man has followed suit. Can you compare with my old man? It's a headache.

As for Aunt Huang's father, spending his daughter's money, drinking, eating meat and gambling, Lin Xiaoning has no objection at all. Spend it, feel free to spend it, it's only [-]% of Master Zheng's pick, a small amount of money.But it’s impossible not to work, so I called the village chief to deal with it, and the village chief said with a smile: “I’ve wanted to deal with it for a long time, and this matter is easy to handle. The old man Huang was born as a refugee, and his food, clothing and housing belong to Hualin’s family. If you don’t want to work, then let’s not do it, let his aunt’s daughter take care of it. The brick house is converted into money, and the money is paid. It’s up to the Lin family to go wherever they go.”

The village chief told the old man Huang that the old man should not answer, and said: "Why do you want to change the silver? No one in the village wants to change the brick house and the house. I am still the father-in-law of Mr. Zheng, Mr. Zheng In-laws, this porcelain kiln is under the supervision of Mr. Zheng and Mr. Zheng, why?"

The village head said: "You are Master Xiaozheng's father-in-law, Mr. Zheng's in-laws, so what about Mr. Zheng's parents and Mrs. Zheng's? Your daughter is born well, and Mr. Zheng is willing to spend money , we have nothing to do with this matter. But the Lin family arranged for you to work until the beginning of next spring when you can plant the land, so that you can farm. You don't do the work in the field or the kiln now. Why do you eat and live in the Lin family, the Lin family is not your in-laws!"

The old man Huang ignored him angrily, shook his hands and left.

As soon as Lin Xiaoning heard that the old man Huang was so unreasonable, he wanted to find him, and the village chief probably wanted to make an example of others, and said, "Don't be angry, Xiaoning. When the county magistrate takes office, I will go to the yamen and tell his family The house land deed has been revoked. The Lin family resettled the refugees not for nothing, even ten years ago when the yamen of Jiantao Village resettled the refugees, they had to work. How can there be such good conditions now, there are ready-made brick houses to live in, ready-made clothing and food."

When the Lin family's shop street was half built, the county magistrate took office.Li Zheng is nothing in front of the Lin family now, his mother-in-law and two daughters-in-law feel guilty like a thief when they see Lin Xiaoning.The village head didn't care about village affairs early in the morning, only the villagers' labor affairs.Lizheng is now in charge of the village affairs of more than 700 people, which is a very enviable thing, but he looks like the village head, and he feels sore and uncomfortable.As soon as the new county magistrate took office, he rushed to notify him, for fear of missing the opportunity to please Mr. Si Tong.

The household registration of Mr. Zheng and Mr. Fang and the removal of Mr. Huang’s house deed were not going well. The newly appointed Mr. Su didn’t even see each other. Land, you are not refugees, why did you move to Taocun? Where can Taocun be so attractive? Isn’t it a treasure land of geomantic omen? Also, if the home deeds of refugees who have been resettled disappear, you have to wait until you have seen Taocun in person. manage."

Lin Xiaoning was very angry that the old man Huang was so shameless, and that the cancellation of the house deed was not smooth, and also angry that the newly appointed Mr. Su did not think about the people, and was far worse than the old man Hu who was his friend, and he felt suffocated.

Mr. Lin and Lin Jiadong persuaded: Don't compare yourself with Mr. Hu. Mr. Hu is a friend of yours who has paid homage to you. Doing the Lin family's business is like doing your own business. How can you ask the new Mr. Hu to do the same.What's more, the new lord is exhausted, so there must be some rest time for him. We are too anxious about this matter, so we should take it easy. There must be some reason for it.

Finally, Mr. Lin said again: "Anyway, the Lin family also has Mr. Si Tong, who is also a seventh-rank official."

Eight days later, a carriage stopped under Taocun Archway.

A young man jumped out of the carriage and looked around.

The Taocun archway is built with blue bricks, and the word Taocun is engraved on the stone plaque of the archway, flying like dragons and phoenixes.Below is a small square, also paved with blue bricks, about 2000 square meters.There is a stone tablet at the entrance of the square, engraved with Taocun Village Regulations.This village rule was engraved not long ago, because the Lin family bought some high-quality marble blocks to build the tomb, and the village chief was reluctant to throw away a few left over. Those marble blocks were the best ones, and they cost a lot of money, so they were placed there. Falling ashes is too wasteful, so ask for it and engrave the village rules.Standing up with bricks and mud, it looks like that.

Flowers and plants are planted around the square, and there are more than a dozen stone tables and matching stone benches in the circle for people to rest.

The young man walked to the center of the square, where there was a small circular flower bed covered with white porcelain tiles, with a big tree, flowers and low shrubs inside.The young master smiled lightly and said, "It's really a treasured place of geomantic omen!"

Looking all the way, let the carriage drive towards the direction of the school.The villagers looked curiously at the young man in the carriage. The driver was a middle-aged man. The young man was sitting sideways outside the carriage, not entering the curtain, looking around all the time.

The carriage stopped in front of the school. Although the school was an adobe building, the two rooms were not far from each other.But the surrounding area is surrounded by low walls with green bricks.The young man entered through the gate, and there were also flowers, plants and trees inside, with green bricks, grass, and sand, and there were some iron bars standing in the sand, as well as cobblestone paths.

Today is a holiday, and there is only one old man who looks after the door.The old man was working on the sandy ground. He raised his eyes to look at the young master, and without asking any further questions, he lowered his head and continued.

The young master asked: "Old man, is this a school?"

"Yes." The old man replied.

"Old man, what are the sand and iron bars for?"

"Give the dolls a chance to climb and play, and they won't get hurt if they fall and fall into the sand."

"What about this stone path?"

"Playing with bare feet is said to be good for your health."

"Interesting, the young master smiled, old man, I heard that there is also a girls' school?"

"Yes, over there, it's the blue brick house, and the one with the walls." The old man said.

There are not so many halls in the women's school, but it is divided into many rooms. There are wooden signs hanging on different doors, saying, female red, cooking, literacy, arithmetic, etc...

The young man drove the carriage around the village again, and saw several big houses, rows of green brick houses, wells, and fields...

Then, drive to the shopping street under construction.

Lin Xiaoning was discussing with the village chief whether to lay tiles on the outside of the shop. According to her temperament, she likes green brick shops, so tiles are fine on the inside.But the village head thought it would be more beautiful to put tiles on the outside of the shop.The village chief said stubbornly, let Jiadong and Mr. Lin also raise their ideas, and it is best to call Wang Gang and Wang Yong to see what they think.

While arguing endlessly, the young gentleman came over and looked at the shopping street.

Lin Xiaoning and the village head looked at the young son.There are a lot of people in the village, and there are a lot of faces, but this carriage and this young man in this attire are either rich or expensive, why did they come to Taocun?People who usually buy bricks and tiles are housekeepers or servants.Because Lin Xiaoning opened Qianjinfang's shop from the side yard, and used a room to store samples of bricks, latrine objects, soil, and various tiles. It was good to order the samples, so he sent the village chief, Ma Shaohua. Handle orders.

The village head stepped forward and asked, "Young master, do you want to buy bricks and tiles when you come to Taocun?"

The young master shook his head and said, "I'm here to find someone."

"Oh," said the village chief, "I know which one you are looking for, and I will ask someone to take you there. It’s better to paste tiles on the wall, or not. I think it’s bright to paste tiles on the wall. The whole street is white and bright, which is very gratifying. But she said that the blue bricks are beautiful, so she only pastes tiles on the inside of the shop. Just a piece of floor and a waist wall, my son, let me tell you what you think."

The young master looked at the tiles beside him and asked, "Is this the tile?"

The village head said: "Yes, it's just this kind of porcelain. Come here, young master, take a look again. This is a shop with a floor and a waist wall pasted up." In the shop, "Look, my lord, this is how it is paved. You say, if the outer walls are also paved, the entire street of the shop will be this blue and white, so beautiful, don't you think so, my lord."

Lin Xiaoning saw that the village chief was so persistent and stubborn that even outsiders would not let him go. He said embarrassedly: "I don't want to put tiles on the outer wall because the blue bricks can withstand the old, and the tiles are on the outer wall. , it will become gray after a long time, but it is not as heavy as blue bricks."
